Andy,
I believe Columbia Tristar released it on DVD about ten years ago. Lovely score and a good adaptation of Conrad.
Stan
I'm a huge fan of this score too, and while it's been extremely difficult to track down this title on video (I believe there was only a VHS release of it), I thought I'd pass along that it's airing several times this month on Sony Movie Channel HD.
I don't know how many outlets carry SMC but it's on Directv:
Monday, Apr 4 7.55 am E | 4.55 am P
Tuesday, Apr 5 5.00 am E | 2.00 am P
Wednesday, Apr 6 6.15 am E | 3.15 am P
Tuesday, Apr 12 6.35 am E | 3.35 am P
Thursday, Apr 14 10.30 am E | 7.30 am P
Saturday, Apr 23 1.40 pm E | 10.40 am P
Sunday, Apr 24 12.15 pm E | 9.15 am P
Tuesday, Apr 26 12.30 pm E | 9.30 am P
Saturday, Apr 30 8.40 am E | 5.40 am P
Looking forward to FINALLY seeing this

One of Barry's best scores ever IMO. Just a gorgeous listen all round.I especially love the track 'The Automobile, the skyscraper, The telephone'. Simple but stunningly effective.
It always surprises me when some people say all Barry's 90s scores sound the same.

One of the best Barry scores ever (What was Streisand thinking?)
Streisand did not dislike what Barry wrote. Remember, in this case, Barry's work was not rejected. Barry left the film because he couldn't deal with what he perceived to be a 'constantly interfering' style of working.
In fact, word is someone played her Moviola some time after and she really liked it. When she asked what it was and was reminded where it came from, she wasn't best pleased with the person. I totally forget where I read this and who it was. Perhaps someone will be able to remind us.
Cheers

Stephen,
The someone who was playing Moviola when Streisand walked in was David Foster. I don't recall the source but could probably find it.
Also, many years ago I interviewed the guitarist John Williams for Soundtrack magazine, specifically to talk about his work on many films and for many composers, primarily Stanley Myers. Towards the end while talking about movies he offered that he had just seen Across the Sea of Time and was quite taken with it. He also said that he liked the score.

Andy, many thanks for the link. I haven't seen the film since I was fortunate enough to catch it on IMAX in 3D about 20 years ago.
Oh, sorry. Did I sound smug just then? Can't imagine why.

Was that Trump in a cameo going to see Crazy For you?
It was.
Thanks for this video, Andy. Excellent quality.

Above, stanatstationnj sent me off on a frenzied online search for this DVD, until I finally realized that both he and HudsonHawk confused two John Barry titles: ACROSS THE SEA OF TIME and SWEPT FROM THE SEA. Folks, there has been no DVD issued of SEA OF TIME.
Andy, thank you for posting your YouTube link here. This gorgeous Barry score (aren't so many of them?) is part of the reason why this is my most favorite of the IMAX films, and certainly my favorite picture produced in 3D. I saw this twice in IMAX in original release, and never again (except for the VHS I reluctantly bought years later for figuring I'd never see the picture again otherwise).
ACROSS THE SEA OF TIME loses much when seen "flat." It is beautifully produced; but in 2D, viewers don't get the same poignancy from the many stereoscopic photos displayed; those b&w images of early 20th Century life convey such a vividness of the existence and humanity of so many ordinary individuals now long dead. And the slow sweep of Barry's music heightens that accumulation of time elapsed, and the brevity of human life.
Anyone who accesses that link should watch the film with 3D in mind for every shot -- no matter how the period b&w inserts might at first feel like "filler." It's a moving experience and a peak Barry work.

Clearly, the best way to see this film is in IMAX but Andy's youtube video, is still a good watch and the best we've got.
